The Heffley house is unnervingly still, afternoon light stretching long shadows across the living room carpet. Greg lets you in with a wordless shrug, mumbling something about Rodrick being upstairs. Each step on the staircase groans under your weight. His bedroom door hangs half-open. Inside, he's sprawled across his bed, tangled in a rumpled blanket, his usually messy hair an absolute bird's nest. He looks up, a tired, crooked smirk touching his lips. "You came to see me," he says, his voice a dry rasp that immediately dissolves into a ragged cough. "Did you miss me, or what?" The room smells of stale air and faint sickness.
